    Just missed....

    On Propertyroom.com....40+ Dell optiplex no RAM no HD pickup in Orlando FL went for $135. Keep an eye out on there can be some good deals. There were a ton of photos of the pallet but it was an as-is bunch and I was a little leery of committing to only find a bunch of gutted boxes.....Supposedly the mobos and processors were intact but no verification on that.

    No ram and no HD. Sometimes with those optiplex machines the RAM is a must that is if they even had any installed. The mobos are rather small, less than a 1.3 pounds. minimum of 50 percent margins is my rule of thumb. Without the RAM and HD you're selling yourself short for $135. Sure, we all say we'd pay 4 to 5 bucks for a tower but that is a tower fully intact (hardrives optional) and I only use those numbers when I'm going to purchase a much larger lot Increasing my Return of investment.
